Art, Science and Technology
With its four-year focus «Art, Science and Technology», Pro Helvetia fosters transdisciplinary exchange and collaboration between arts practitioners on the one hand and science and technology professionals on the other.
Various promotion formats (residencies, research grants, production grants, etc.) invite participants to explore the potential of mutual inspiration and open up spaces for new artistic approaches. The formats of this programme are developed in close cooperation with well-established scientific institutions and are aimed at Swiss practitioners from all arts disciplines.

What organisations are active at the intersection of art, science and technology? What residency opportunities are available? What kind of festivals are there? What kind of Think Tanks? How can I find an organisation that combines music and biology?
The «Art, Science and Technology Directory» was created to help you browse through and discover more than 600 organisations in the areas of responsibility of the Pro Helvetia liaison offices as well as in Europe and in Northern and Central America, that operate across the boundaries of disciplines.
Is your organisation missing or do you know of more organisations at the intersection of art, science and technology?

Pro Helvetia is launching its first podcast series as part of its «Art, Science and Technology» focus: each of the seven episodes addresses a specific theme and features an artist and a researcher who have worked together. The conversations consider the joys and challenges of transdisciplinary collaboration. Produced in English, the series has a global scope, both in terms of its speakers, who come from Pro Helvetia’s international network, and in terms of its audience.
